If I do not use HP computers and printers, can I uninstall hp-uiscan?
I do not know if it will hurt some system settings.
hp-uiscan is part of the hplip package. You can safely remove it, but you may need to also remove manjaro-printer if it’s installed because it depends on it. You can always reinstall things like cups later if you ever need to print.

so that I can use manjaro-printer without hp-uiscan and HP device manager?
manjaro-printer is just a meta package for the printing software packages. If you only want some of them, first make note of the packages it depends on:
pamac info manjaro-printer
Remove manjaro-printer then reinstall the packages you want.

Couldn’t you simply mark the parts of the program you want to keep as explicitly installed beforehand to save reinstalling them?
sudo pacman -D --asexplicit cups
Just an idea …
Yes, indeed.
